CBC interviewed Pam Ratner, UBC’s vice-provost, enrolment and academic facilities, in a story on foreign students in Canada’s universities.
The article noted that UBC has the second highest number of foreign students in Canada after the University of Toronto. It quoted Ratner as saying that while they’re here, international students enhance the learning environment, and many stay on to start up businesses of their own.
A similar Business in Vancouver story mentioned typical UBC tuition fees for a bachelor of arts degree: around $35,000 a year for international students and $5,000 for domestic students.
